The marriage license was issued Nov. 7, and the couple have 90 days to get married. Afton Burton, who calls herself Star, said in August she already considers herself the 80-year-old mass murderer’s wife.

The couple received a marriage license on Nov. 7, and may get married within the next 90 days.
Manson is serving a life sentence in California's Corcoran State Prison for his role in a 1969 killing spree in Los Angeles that left seven people dead, including actress Sharon Tate. Prosecutors at the time said Manson led his hippie "family" of followers — who included several young women — in the violent stabbings of affluent white stars in an attempt to start a race war.
Manson had faced execution, but his sentence was overturned in 1972 when California temporarily found the death penalty unconstitutional. Two women of the Manson Family, who were convicted with him, also remain imprisoned, and a third died behind bars.
In 2012, Manson was denied parole. A prison psychologist testified that Manson bragged about the killings and being a "dangerous man."

Manson is next eligible for parole in 2027, when he would be in his 90s. And because he has no firm parole date, prison officials told the AP he would not be allowed family or conjugal visits after his marriage.
